Ah, the Real Housewives…where even the closest of friendships can fall apart at a moment’s notice. This certainly appears to be the case for former best buddies NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey. During yesterday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the ladies’ once great relationship seemed to be on the precipice of a complete breakdown.

Typically, on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the bickering is reserved for everyone besides NeNe Lekaes and Cynthia Bailey. Sure, the two are happy to argue with the likes of Kenya Moore and Kandi Burruss, but in their dealings with one another, drama largely goes by the wayside.

Unfortunately, when it comes to parenting teenagers, all bets are off. A small disagreement regarding the appropriateness of adolescent dating quickly escalated, with the the reality stars vehemently disagreeing on whether it was okay for their kids to seek significant others. NeNe was adamant in her opinion that, at only thirteen, Cynthia’s daughter Noelle should not be dating. Cynthia, figuring teenage romance would go on regardless of her wishes, figured that it was okay for her daughter to date, but only with adult supervision.

The issue came to a head when NeNe complained about how “loose” modern young women had become and Cynthia, interpreting this as a jab at Noelle, broke into tears. After some intervention (and more tears) from Kandi Burruss and Kenya Moore, Cynthia and NeNe finally agreed to disagree. Cynthia later explained, “NeNe is my girl but NeNe’s wrong. I have a very strong position when it comes to parenting. If we don’t see eye to eye, we might not want to go there.”

Do you think Cynthia Bailey’s daughter is too young to date? Leave a comment and let us know!

One Response to “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta: Drama Emerges Between NeNe Leakes And Cynthia Bailey”

I believe that Cynthia and Noelle’s father have the right to decide whether Noelle should date. The children are going on Parent supervised outings and I believe if, your children are mature 13 or 14 year old, what’s the harm. Parents who tend to be too strict, usually have problems with their children sneaking around behind the parents back. The supervised dating can allow the parent and child to bond and also open up a conversation of do’s and don’ts regarding teen dating. From what I see with Cynthia and her daughter, they have a wonderful relationship. Ms. Nene may be a little jealous if you ask me!
